The Raised Jesus 80x80 Grid

The Raised Jesus (8880) 80x80 Grid: Draw a circle of any arbitrary size and assign it a circumference of 8880 units. A square enclosing that circle is the raised Jesus graph. Color the top half blue and bottom green. You now have your first two signs, heaven and earth.

Any appropriate grid can be superimposed over the raised Jesus 8880 graph. The above diagram shows an 80x80 grid which works wonders. Only two signs, (amen 99) and (the truth 72), require a smaller grid. The distance between any two lines can always be made smaller to construct any given sign. The larger the graph, the easier it is to do a construction.

The grid has the effect of turning your compass into a ruler to construct circles of any desired size. You can always adjust the width of your compass to approximate. The thickness of a pencil line causes an error of less than 1%. The above links will show a variety of signs that are possible using the Template Lines and the 80x80 Grid.
